BGC Taguig City, Philippines - Dough & Grocer recently collaborated with the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) to host the first-ever “Seafood Market” in Metro Manila that transported diners to the vibrant streets of Japan's famed Tsukiji Fish Market. Located at Estancia Mall, the event showcased an array of premium Japanese seafood delights, tantalizing the taste buds of all who attended.


The Seafood Market may be over, but Dough & Grocer made sure to have the following premium frozen seafood available all year round: Hamachi Loin (Yellowtail) from Miyazaki Prefecture, Hotate (Scallops) and Ikura (Salmon roe, sometimes called ‘red caviar’) from Hokkaido, and Amaebi (Japanese Sweet Shrimp). Seafood lovers can bring home the goodness of Japanese seafood any day of the year, thanks to JETRO and Dough & Grocer.
